Ape Escape

From the days of the PS one, this downloadable game allows you to play the classic original on your PS3 home console.

In a genre that often lacks originality, Ape Escape shines with innovations that utilize the DualShock controller like never before. Each level in Ape Escape requires you to capture a set number of apes using a variety of gadgets which are provided by the mad professor (who let all the monkeys loose in the first place). The control is definitely a plus of this game -- the left stick on the pad controls the movement of the main character, the right stick operates the chosen weapon or tool and points it in whichever direction you choose. Extensive use of the two sticks is necessary throughout the game for everything from swimming to rowing a boat.
